Our national security is currently predicated on a fantasy; the pipe dream of gender equality, the fantasy of the female warrior meeting our enemies on the field of battle and defeating them in combat.
It is a Potemkin Village that will implode like a house of cards the moment the first shot is fired in anger.
The lunatic idea of female warriors is promulgated by Hollywood. For 25 years, we have been force fed endless TV series with the female cop who looks like a model, and with a gun and badge the size of her waist. In a dark pants suit, she’s able to dispatch bad guys with the aplomb of Chuck Norris on an all night commando raid. Tinseltown bombards us with female Navy SEALs, female Viking warriors wielding swords the average woman couldn’t even swing, female super spies beating up four or five Russian heavies in a single blow.
But, that’s just fantasy.
And, so is our national security policy.
Women are now everywhere in the US military; on ships, flying jets, in the combat arms, in special forces. Standards have been lowered so much to accommodate females that your dead great grandma could be an Army Ranger now.
The whole US military infrastructure has been altered to accommodate females with things like lactation stations at military bases and breast pumping directives for females going on field exercises. Tucker Carlson was scorched by the cultural Marxists when he asked why the military had developed a combat maternity flight suit.
Why are we sending pregnant women into combat?
Why are we sending any women into combat?
It seems that every day, every week, every month is some asinine celebration of Female Warriors in the US military.
Ridiculous praise is heaped upon random women and their apparent integral roles in US history. “In 1776, Juanita Chamchuka, an Eskimo-American housekeeper and lesbian handed General Washington a cup of tea after the Battle of Trenton. This clearly shows the incredible contribution of Eskimo lesbians to American history."
Oh, praise diversity!
How did this happen? It’s quite simple: the Vietnam vets who rebuilt the military left the service shortly after the end of the Gulf War in 1991. The great draft dodger was elected and began to implement policies in 1993 which allowed females to serve in support units that would expose them to danger. Sometime in the late 90’s the snowball really started rolling downhill. Women were given permission to fly combat aircraft in the US Navy and Air Force. By 2015, Ash Carter, under orders from Barry Soetero, authorized women to serve in the combat arms of the US military, aka, the guys who close with and kill the enemy.
Of course none of this could have happened without the completely gutless leadership of numerous perfumed princes and feather merchants with stars in the Pentagon. Anyone who disagreed with this lunacy was shown the door.
To illustrate how great our new coed army really was, during the Iraq War, feminists and cowards in the Beltway concocted a story that PFC Jessica Lynch, fought it out with the tangos like John Wayne at the Alamo, before she was captured by the enemy. After being rescued in some Ridley Scott type of show biz operation, she was decorated with the Bronze Star. Later it was revealed her weapon jammed, no doubt because it was dirty and she never fired a shot. She was cold cocked when her truck ran off the road during an ambush.
Defenders of the gender neutral military will give you examples of Soviet women in the Red Army. Women primarily served in medical and support roles with a handful as snipers. The Israelis had so many problems with women in the Six Day War that they decided to assign female soldiers as instructors. There are women in border security units in the IDF, but they are not in the combat arms.
No one seems to want to answer the most important question: how does having one women in any combat environment increase a unit’s operational tempo?
War is about inflicting violence faster than the enemy. The in depth USMC study eight years ago showed in immense detail that all male Marine units clearly outperformed coed and all female Marine units in numerous simulated combat tasks and situations.
The study was thrown out the window by cultural Maoist and the worst Sec Navy in US history, Ray Mabus.
The perfumed princes wonder why no young guys are signing up for the military anymore. It’s pretty simple. It’s a girls club now. It’s an environment that’s just not fun. Gone are the drinking, whoring skirt chasing rowdy days when your leaders didn’t really care what you did in your free time as long as you could put cold steel down range and you were at your place of duty the next day. The military in 2024 resembles some locked up corporation run by waddling mommies. It’s a country day school ensemble.
It's a joke.
We’re headed for a disaster. It’s pretty obvious. Then the American public, many but not all, whose idea of patriotic service and devotion to duty is standing at attention with a bucket of KFC as the national anthem plays will scratch their heads and wonder just what in the heck went wrong.
By the way, if you’re not doing anything on April 24th, feel free to attend the US Naval Institute’s celebration of the Female Naval Warrior in history. Come one, come all to this extravaganza and celebration of fantasy.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusiveness!

It will not make you feel safe.
Here are a couple of select starting places, 6:30, 10:40. Loading 62 lb shells in rapid succession while moving, twisting and turning with added G forces in multiple directions.... no, she can't do it no matter how many push ups she does. Most of them can't. Their little heads rattle around in helmets made for young men like cartoon caricatures.
These kids have already been to boot camp and a lot still look like jelly donuts or 12 year-old kids in their Dad's old clothes playing soldier. Some of them aren't even shaving yet and some never will. I guess you don't have to shave to be combat effective but the bucket of testosterone, piss and vinegar that go along with needing a shave probably help quite a lot.
The non-coms doing the training may be even more pitiful than the children they are training since the have to buy into this crapola and do.
God help us.
Why did they need a study to learn this?
My stepdaughter was in the Army National Guard. She married just before her unit shipped out for Kuwait. She came home a couple months later. Seems she got herself pregnant. At 5’1” she wasn’t much of an imposing figure anyway.
Diversity is our weakness. It causes division, ignorance, lack of allegiance, crime, class warfare - anything good is opposed by diversity.
I used to coach youth soccer for all ages; and co-ed when the kids were younger. By the time the kids were ten-years-old the boys were already bigger, stronger, faster and “engaged!”
Even a person with a two-digit IQ recognizes that girls and boys—men and women are different physically and emotionally. It just beez that way!
“We’re headed for a disaster.”
It feels like we’re in the same position as America was in 1941. I think we’ll lose the opening round of the next war with China et. al. Unlike America of that era, I don’t think we’ll have time to mobilize and counter attack. Most likely, a progressive admin will surrender to nuclear black mail. America will become a vassal state of China. The CCP already has a massive numbers of Democrat puppets ready to serve as our rulers. A guerilla war will break out and go on for years. Millions will be eradicated.
Hypothetical:
War breaks out somewhere, troops deployed. Women who all of a sudden want to get out of that situation get themselves pregnant (remember, husband or even a “steady” not necessary - Uncle Sugar pays the bills). Now there are vacancies in the ranks.
This has happened because Americans closed their ears, eyes, and mouths while the Nation’s culture, freedoms, liberties, and “real” national defense were infiltrated and then destroyed by communist tyranny...
Been plenty of warnings by erudite patriots over the years...
However, those “nut jobs” were dealt with derision & dismissal...
Once the communists were able to attack and incinerated a barn full of women and children, they knew that victory was just a matter of time... In a Nation of 280 million, only one American stood up in response...
Brings to mind the relevant poem written by George Patton in 1917...
DIVERSITY IS NOT OUR STRENGTH.
NEVER HAS BEEN.
UNITY IS OUR STRENGTH.
DESPITE OUR DIVERSITY. ………
…at least it used to be….
“…and with a gun and badge the size of her waist. “
Lol I thought I was the only one who noticed this. The gun and the badge perched together on her hip and she looks like she’s gonna tip over.
“But God help us if we face off with a competent enemy.“
I think this deliberate weakness might goad the Chinese into doing something they want to do but we’re expecting to do much later.
After I retired a second time I decided to become a manager of a small uniform/tactical store about a mile from my house. We live a hand grenade's throw from the training side of Quantico Marine Corps Base. The store did everything from alterations of their uniforms, making and sewing on their name tapes, to selling gear and helpful things that allowed the new Second Lieutenants to make it through the six months of The Basic School (TBS).
One of the classes had a tiny little girl, about 5'0" and I found out she weighed less than 100lbs. She was one of those posturing, pretend tough-male, lesbians and brought her "wife" with her. By the way, her "wife" was a real cutie.
During Range Week her class decided to march out to the ranges and stay the week rather than return to the barracks every night. The Company Cadre decided to let them and made a list of everything they had to pack out for the week. They were notified by some of their TBS students the pack was about 125lbs. They marched out with that load. The little girl couldn't carry the load that weighed nearly 30lbs more than herself.
Two weeks later a couple of the male TBS students were in the store and told me she had to drop out because she couldn't take the physical strain. They were pretty happy and alluded to that girl being a nasty pain in the butt, always flaunting her feminism and lesbianism. She was using her "status" to maintain a hair trigger on complaining about discrimination due to her being a girl and her mental illness as a lesbian.
And lots of good men will die protecting and compensating for these women.
They have been told all their lives that they can do / be anything they want to. They have been lied to. I won’t go into it all but safe to say I would be torn to be the father of girls that were smart and able. Asked by one young lady what I thought about choice between career and being a stay at home mother. I said, “Just about anyone with a brain can be a successful chemical engineer and do it anytime in their life. You can only be a mother one period in your life and create an outstanding human that may even save the world.” She gave up her career, raised two wonderful children and has a very very happy life of no regrets. So she tells me. I don’t feel bad at all about what I told her.
“cold steel down range”?
